Hyperthyroid patients can eat fruits, but certain fruits with high iodine content are not recommended for excessive consumption by hyperthyroid patients.
The full name of hyperthyroidism is hyperthyroidism, which is an endocrine disease in which the thyroid gland synthesizes and releases too much thyroid hormone, causing an increase in the excitability of the body’s sympathetic nervous system and hypermetabolism.
Common fruits include apples, pears, grapefruit, etc. The iodine content of fruits is not high, and fruits are rich in dietary fiber, vitamins and other nutrients, so patients with hyperthyroidism can eat appropriately, but also can play the role of supplemental nutrients.
Iodine is the raw material for synthesizing thyroid hormones, and consuming too much iodine may lead to an increase in thyroid hormones and aggravate the condition of hyperthyroidism, so fruits with high iodine content, such as persimmons, grapes, oranges, pineapples, etc., are not recommended to be consumed by patients with hyperthyroidism, so as to avoid affecting the control of the condition.
The diet of hyperthyroid patients should avoid foods with high iodine content, including kelp, seaweed, marine fish, shrimp, shellfish, etc. Such foods will promote the synthesis of thyroid hormones, which is not conducive to the control of thyroid hormone levels in the blood of hyperthyroid patients. Non-iodized salt should also be consumed.
In daily life, hyperthyroid patients are advised to choose a high-protein, high-vitamin diet to supplement the daily high metabolic consumption and improve systemic nutrition. Foods with high dietary fiber content should be appropriately restricted to avoid aggravating diarrhea.
Patients diagnosed with hyperthyroidism should standardize their treatment under the guidance of a doctor. For more information on the health of food, consult a dietitian for scientific and reasonable consumption under the guidance of a doctor.
